What to do if water gets inside a Panerai watch?

　　The Panerai manufacture has always worked tirelessly in pursuit of perfect quality, offering a rich tribute to time. So, how should you handle water ingress in a Panerai watch?

　　Methods for dealing with water ingress in a Panerai watch

　　1. If the Panerai watch is soaked in water, you can wrap it tightly with several layers of tissue paper or moisture-absorbent flannel, place it near a 40W electric light bulb at a distance of about 15 cm, and bake it for about 30 minutes so that the water vapour inside evaporates. Avoid placing the watch glass directly near a fire for baking, to prevent the glass from deforming due to heat.

　　2. Wear the watch backwards on your wrist with the crystal facing inward and the case back facing outward; the water vapour will disappear after two hours. If water ingress is severe, send it to a watch shop immediately for servicing and to remove moisture from the movement, preventing components from rusting.

　　3. Place the watch containing water into a sealed container together with silica gel crystals. After a few hours, remove the watch, and all the moisture will have disappeared. This method is simple, economical, and causes no damage to the precision or lifespan of the watch. Once the silica gel has absorbed moisture multiple times, it can be dried at 120°C for several hours to regenerate its absorption capacity, allowing it to be reused repeatedly.
